i'm guessing that he's talking about the .40" spacer that goes between the crank and flexplate. And the answer is no, because the lq4's come with them. There's a good chance the lq9's have the dished flex like the 5.3's since they were generally bolted to the 4l65/70 which had different spacing than the 4l80 which kept it's same spacing since 1991. So with an lq9, you'd probably have to find the .40" spacer and Flat flexplate. I have the part numbers for those if you need them.
